Day 36 cupcakes

Mothers group was at our place today. The biggest bonus of this each time is the house gets a big tidy and clean before 10am. The downside is that by 12 there are toys and crumbs everywhere. Perfect for a lovely colourful photo! Then beautiful silence for a few minutes while Tassie naps and Angus is yet to wake. What to do.....???

Can't understand people doing the 365project who complain that there are some days where they run out of ideas of what to photograph!!!! Love my camera mwah xxx

Day 35 soothing joys of milkshake

Oh we all felt better after a soothing milkshake. Needed badly following crazy shopping morning - late start - tired after 6 night-wakeups - food shopping - back to car, swap trolley for pram - nappie shopping - angus hat shopping - hard-to-find-present-for-ian shopping. Phew!

Day 34 A blast from the past - DINKs

After a busy day taking Tassie to swimming, and collecting Mum's second sewing machine from manda's (the original machine is unwell again and waiting for Heinz to return from leave to see what's wrong) there was an interesting part two and three to the day. Manda came to babysit so I could leave at 5.30 to start my NEW JOB - tutoring for REM tuition, Year 12 English Communications. It was wonderful to be back at work and I am so excited to be helping a student with year 12.

Then I met Ian in our old stomping ground of Norwood for dinner (Schnitzel and Tandoori chicken) and a movie: The Road. What an amazing evening. The film is right up there with one of the best stories ever told, a must see. I really recommend reading the wonderful book first, as the film relies totally on the novel.

Day 33 Feeding the ducks at Wittunga

A few minutes after feeding the ducks, we moved to the grass to sit and have a drink and biscuit. A woman stopped to ask me if I'd dropped a hat and when I looked back, Tassie had disappeared behind some tall bushes. It's a big park and it took a few heart racing minutes to find her.

Day 32 Gandy visits

Monday 1st Feb 2010

It's great when Mum comes to visit, and I only wish she would come more often. I surprised her when she arrived as she didn't notice me standing at the top of the path with my camera.

When she stepped inside Tassie immediately went to hide, waiting for Gandy to find her. She loves the game of counting to five, then 'ready or not'. Mum swears she heard Angus counting to five with her during one game! Manda also came for lunch that day.

We three played trains. Tassie and I would set up the train tracks, then Angus would pull it apart and throw the pieces off the table. I often call him the "wrecker" or "trasher". Ian says, "he's trashing the joint!"
